The exhibition Pars Pro Imagine shows: large-format photographs taken directly at the glass edge. The view does not pass through the glass—it enters the glass. What becomes visible there is surprising: each image combines space, lines, symmetries and asymmetries, refractions of light, and subtle shades of color into a unique, unexpected world of images.
It began with a chance glance at a glass edge and the impulse to simply try it out. The result was astonishing. That first moment of wonder became curiosity, and curiosity became passion. Edge by edge, image by image, a collection emerged that reveals: glass is not just green. Glass is a world of its own.
Although we look through glass every day, its interior mostly goes unnoticed. What the smartphone lens captures directly at the edge has nothing to do with what we think we know. Captured with a smartphone, no post-processing, no AI – only glass, light and an attentive look that makes the invisible visible.
Pars Pro Imagine is an invitation to slow down your own perspective and discover hidden worlds that lie before us every day. Glass – a whole new world. #shotbyhuman
